THE ATLANTIC AND N. q. RAILROAD.
From the report submitted by President
Washington Bryan to the stockholders of
the Atlantic & N. 9. Railroad we learn
that all The efforts that have recently been
made to advance the interests of that cor
poration have been brought to success
ful ISSUE The old debt is paid with the
money derived from the sale of new six
per cent bonds; sixteen hundred tons Of
steel rails have been placed on the road,
and the track repaired with the best of
the old iron rails taken up. Forty thou
sand new cross ties have been put down,
and the bridges and culverts have been
for the most part put in excellent condi-
tion. The road-bed is being greatly i'm
proved by ditching, and to quote the
words of the report, which are entirely in
line with the comments of those who have
examined the road, "The Atlantic road
has made rapid strides forward during the
past year. 1t is undoubtedly in better or.
der in every way than at any period since
the close of the war" We commend the
thoroughness of the officials, the energy
aud Judgment OF the President, and con
gratulate Gov. Scales that under his ad-
ministration "the old Mullet Road" has
made these advances to substantial pros
perity.-RaIeigh Observer.

Suggestions About Glover, &c.

Messrs Editors In your issue of the
1st inst. you have an article from the
New York Times entitled "How Often to
Grow Glover" in " Which the writer tries
to scare good people who wish to raise it
for hay or improve their land, and to do
this he says that every crop OF two tons
taken from the soil extracts $50 pounds
of nitrogen, II pounds of phosphoric acid
and II pounds of potash. We will take it
tor granted that his figures are correct.
What does it amount to? All crops take
from the soil certain elementary consti-
tuents aud those crops upon which the
farmer mainly relies for his living, viz:
corn and wheat, take more than any
other and furnish or return nothing, being
exhaustive to both the mineral and or
gauic elements. In the case of peas and
clover, while they take up potash and
phosphoric acid from the soil, get from
the atmosphere all the organic elements
wanted and, when they are taken, as hay,
from the land, leave as much nitrogen in
the stubbie and roots as the hay had and +,
if two tons OF clover hay contained $50
pounds of nitrogen, then the land was q
direct gamer to that extent bv these crops.
J. F. W. Johnston, in his "Agricultural
Chemistry" page 22O, says this quantity,
two tons OF clover hay, contains 1928
pounds of phosphoric acid and 1880
pounds of potash, and in the shape of
phosphoric acid of commerce, or more
properly, superphosphate of lime, 200
pounds Of it will replace the phosphoric
| acid and 800 pounds of kainite will re-
place the potash, and this can be done at
a cost of So for the acid and 1925 for the
'kainite, making 1925 for the minerals
lost. and the farmer is the gamer of l8O
pounds of nitrogen, which at the moderate
estimate of 22 cents per pound will give
5000, and subtracting the cost of the
minerals, the net gain is $35.35 for rails
ing the clover besides the value of the
clover hay itself iu your market at, say
SIS per ton, giving $50 for the two tons
plus the value of the nitrogen LETT in the
soil, making S65.S5 Of gain by the trans
sction.
Clover and peas ask from the soil min
eral matter in proper state OF tneness
and they are SO constituted that they ex
tract from the atmosphere all organic
elements needed and for the most vigor
Gus growth. Their roots are long and
thus serve the purpose of subsoiling which
our farmers as rule will not do them
selves.
This clover hay is the richest known

of corn. Red clover grows we'll on ret

Clover which is ,said to do we'll on sand

POINTS TO De REMEMBERED
The Story of Kmskin's Marriage.

Two or three letters have recently been re.
ceived asking for the story of Rushin's mar
riage. The story is this: When compare
lively young he became Interested in an
| unworldly maiden, some years his junior,
whom he thought beautiful, according to the
| rules and theories of art, and whom he wooed
| on art principles. He married her, though he
| was too unnatural 10 need a wife, and treated
| her Us If she had been statue, admiring her
III cold, abstract way, not altogether CRATE
full toa young woman of ardent temperament.
Months passed, their relations undergo ding no
change, he contente,l, she disconnected.
| Meanwhile he had engaged Mllais with
whom as pre-Raphaelite he was much con-
cerned, to paint her portrait. The suscepti-
bic artist was struck by her beauty, and
being OF totally different constitution from
Ruskin, fell passionately in love with her.
But loyal to his friend, and man of honor.
he showed her only the conventional respect
that was due, sitting the hunger of his heart
RuSkin was at last aroused to his own mari
tai defects, and to a sense of the mutual love
between his wife and the painter He finally
opened the subject, and, blaming himself for
marrying, told her what he had observed.
Overwhelmed with surprise and confusion,
and unconscious up to that time Of her own
emotions or the awakening Of her heart, the
truth suddenly dawned upon her. She found
that she was only woman after all, not
frigd figure for the lofty pedestal on which
her nominal husband had placed her. He
acted nagnaninously, deciding not to stand
in the way of the happiness of two persons
who were fitted for each other The matter
was managed quietly, but in due time she !
was released from her matrimonial bonds and |
became Mrs. Millai, The celebrated artist |
having been knighted she is now Lady |
Millais. The three have been good friends |
ever since, and two OF them are indebted to |
the third for their connubial happiness and |
still wildly mindful of their obligation.

A Solemn Warning to Over Industrious

A Solemn Warning to Over Industrious
Employees, and n Hint to Employers.
In the Office of an insurance company
on LaSallc street l saw, the other day, g
young man eating his lunch at his desk.
It was u very modest lunch which his
good mother, New England Puritan,
hao prepared for him at home with typ
ical New England simplicity. 1t consisted
of bread and buttcr-the slices OF the
former rather thick and the layers of the
latter quite thin-two hard boiled eggs
and piece of lnincc pie. Doubtless the
pic was gootl-all New England mince
pie is-but I pitictl the young E,an from
the bottom of my heart. With his glass
of water from the hydrant, his eyes fixed
upon a letter before him even while Lc
munched, his attitude reminded me Of
that of slave bending over his toll and
eating the crust which his hard task
master had bcgrudgingly flung him. In
ten minutes the lunch was finished, and
then the young man resumed his 1ab0rs
with reports, policies and letters.
l made some inquiry concerning him,
and learned that he was one Of the most
valuable employees in the oi1icc-earnest,
faithful and loyal-and that his services
were appreciated and rewarded with a
good salary, out Of which he and his
mother, good Yankee that she was, were
daily saving q snug sum. And yet I
pitied him. If I had been an old man I
should have said to him, as earnestly and
patcrnally as knew how: "Young man,
don't cat any more lunches at your desk.
Tell your mother not to put up any more
eggs or lnincc pies for You; you can't af-
ford il. You may save dime or two
and half hours time, but you can earn
your salary and more, too, after taking
aa hour for q lunch out. The dimes you
are saving now will some day be needed
to pay Doctors bills and support you
when you are too sick to work. Stop this
desk lunching. Go out to restaurant,
buy some soup, some warm food, take
your time to its eating, find some COM
panions to go with you and chat and
laugh with you. Take u little stroll in
the open air, FL your lungs with oxygen
that is not supcrheated and lifcless, get
your mind away from your work little
while, and, depend upon it, the sum Of
your lifc's strength, energy and happiness
will be all the greater for it."-Chicagc
